Just won at full OR grade at Monmore 264m last time out with a 98-rated performance — the highest score in this field by a significant margin. Averaging 71 across recent form which stands out clearly above the competition here, the bulk of whom have been running at D1 to D3 grade. A Fader from trap 6 — which is historically the weakest box at Monmore 264m based on the general profile at around 17% — but the quality gap in this field is simply too large for the structural trap concern to be decisive. One win from three course and distance starts here in OR-level races. The trainer at 26% is solid. When a dog is running at a demonstrably higher class than the rest of the field and has won this trip recently, they deserve to be picked regardless of trap position.
